Limit number of plug-in sidechain inputs
By default, a multi-channel VST plug-in always exposes the maximum number of input channels it
supports.
You can limit the number of sidechain inputs that SONAR displays for any given VST plug-in. This is
useful if you don’t need to use all the input channels and you want to limit the number of audio input
channels that are displayed in SONAR.
To limit the number of sidechain inputs
1. On the Tools menu, click Cakewalk Plug-in Manager to open the Cakewalk Plug-in Manager.
2. In the Plug-in Categories list, select VST Audio Effects (VST).
3. In the Registered Plug-ins list, select the desired plug-in.
4. Under VST Configuration, click Plug-in Properties to open the VST Plug-in Properties dialog.
5. In the Max used inputs box, specify the max number of inputs you want to use for the plug-in.
Warning: You should only change items in Aud.ini that are documented in the online Help
or if you are instructed to by Cakewalk tech support. Undesirable changes to Aud.ini can
result in loss of performance or malfunction of SONAR.
Note: The default value is the maximum number of mono input channels as exposed by the
plug-in. The valid range is from 2 to the maximum number of channels exposed by the plug-in.
With a value of 2, SONAR will not display any sidechain inputs for the plug-in. With a value of 4,
SONAR will display 1 stereo sidechain input, etc.
